The price of kerosene oil in Pakistan has surged after the latest revision in petroleum product rates. According to the new update, kerosene oil is now priced at Rs318.81 per litre across the country.
Earlier, it was being sold at Rs188.73 per litre, which means consumers are now facing a major increase in the cost of the fuel.
Experts in the energy sector warn that the sharp rise in kerosene oil prices could further add to the financial burden on households that are already struggling with inflation and higher utility expenses.

Kerosene oil is commonly used in many parts of Pakistan, particularly in remote and rural areas where people rely on it for cooking and heating. With the latest increase, families that depend on this fuel may find it even harder to manage their daily expenses.
Authorities have not yet shared detailed reasons behind the significant hike. However, kerosene oil prices in Pakistan are usually influenced by changes in the global oil market as well as local fuel price adjustments.
